雙語新聞：谷歌眼鏡與隱私保護(hù).

　　Google has been selling its newest high-tech device, Google Glass, to a select group to test the technology so it can be improved for the mass market. The biggest criticism has been about privacy.

　　谷歌公司在美國向一些挑選出來的人出售其最新高科技產(chǎn)品：谷歌眼鏡，以求進(jìn)一步改進(jìn)技術(shù)，最終打入市場。迄今最多的批評是關(guān)于隱私的問題。

　　When Professor Marcia Dawkins first heard about Google Glass, she had only one thought.

　　道金斯教授頭一次聽說谷歌眼鏡的時候，有一個想法。

　　“I thought this is something I dinitely need for my classroom and hopully for my personal life too,” she said.

　　谷歌眼鏡使用者道金斯說：“我覺得這肯定是我課堂上需要的東西，但愿在生活中也同樣有用?！?/p>

　　Dawkin&aposs Google Glass looks like a pair of bright orange glasses, without lenses. But there&aposs a tiny rectangular glass at the top right-hand corner of her orange frame. Through that glass, Dawkins has been recording video while biking.

　　She&aposs also been able to talk to her sister in Thailand with Google Glass. She&aposs planning to use the device in her classroom to teach a public speaking class in the coming year. Dawkins also wants to record her lectures with Google Glass to allow her students to see what she sees.

　　“I often tell them at the beginning of the term, if you can see me I can see you, but they never believe me. They think they are invisible when they are behind the laptops,” said Dawkins.

　　道金斯說：“學(xué)期開始時，我常常告訴學(xué)生，如果你們能看到我，我就能看到你們。但他們根本不相信。他們以為躲在手提電腦后面，我就看不到他們了?！?/p>

　　Spying potential

　　Not everyone, however, embraces this new technology.

　　但并非每個人都?xì)g迎這種新技術(shù)。

　　“It is essentially going to allow people to come in and spy on you and record that, without you knowing what is going on,” said John Simpson, director of the privacy project with the public interest group, Consumer Watchdog.

　　辛普森是“消費(fèi)者守望人”組織隱私項目主管。辛普森說：“從根本上說，這就是允許人們在你不知情的情況下窺探和記錄你的一舉一動?！?/p>

　　But Google’s Chris Dale says the device is designed to address that concern.

　　但谷歌公司的戴爾表示，谷歌眼鏡的設(shè)計考慮到了這種擔(dān)心。

　　“In order to activate the camera or to record the video, you have to take an explicit gesture or say something out loud. So I tap, I activate the device, and say &aposOkay, glass, take a picture.&apos Similarly, I have a little button on the top here that I can push that will again show an explicit gesture to everybody around me that a picture is being taken and a video is being recorded,” he said.

　　戴爾說：“為了啟動拍照或錄像功能，你必須做一個明確的動作或大聲發(fā)出指令。比如拍一下眼鏡，說‘好，拍張照片。’同樣，這上面有一個小按鈕，我按這個按鈕，周圍的人都可以看到這個明顯的動作，知道我在拍照或錄像?！?/p>

　　Filmmaker Chris Barrett showed just how easy it is, though, to record people without them knowing. His glass captured a man getting arrested after a fight at a fireworks show. He posted the video to YouTube.

　　但電影制作人巴雷特放在YouTube上的這段視頻顯示，很容易在別人不知道時進(jìn)行拍攝。他的谷歌眼鏡就錄下了一次逮捕行動。

　　Mike DiGiovanni created a way to take pictures with just a wink.

　　迪格瓦尼發(fā)明了一種用谷歌眼鏡瞬間拍攝的方法，并放在了他的網(wǎng)頁上。

　　Hackers have been able to get facial recognition technology to run on Glass. The technology can scan a face, identify the person and provide information about that person. Google says it will not approve face recognition applications.

　　黑客能夠在谷歌眼鏡上使用面部識別技術(shù)。這種技術(shù)可以掃描一張面孔，確認(rèn)這個人的身份，并提供有關(guān)他的信息。谷歌公司表示，不會批準(zhǔn)面部識別功能。

　　Consumer Watchdog’s Simpson says it may be up to Congress, however, to protect people’s privacy.

　　“消費(fèi)者守望人”組織的辛普森說，可能需要國會立法來保護(hù)隱私。

　　“I think it is going to require some serious legislation. We are going to have to pass some laws,” he said.

　　辛普森說：“我認(rèn)為這需要認(rèn)真立法。我們必須通過一些法律?！?/p>

　　Dawkins says privacy concerns will be a part of her classroom discussion, as she uses Google Glass to enhance her students’ learning experience.

　　道金斯教授說，她使用谷歌眼鏡提高學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)效果時，隱私問題將是課堂討論的一個內(nèi)容。
